The $300 dollar wallet seemed outrageous to you but the custom knife that had to Be around a $1000 was acceptable . People make high end and custom versions of every single thing in life. Just because you don’t value it doesn’t mean other people won’t. And the things your willing to spend your money on is worthless in other people’s eyes.

[@darren1941]

@@atsylor5549 I never said I didn’t like the items just that they were way out of my price range. So yes if the $300 wallet is beyond my reach so is the $1000 knife even if it’s crafted from unicorn bone!

@@jojojojoundso Some people do tend to spend a lot of money on trendy things. What I found puzzling is going to The Blade Show and buying a wallet. There was always other sources for that online, like Amazon. But coming away from the show without any real knives I found odd. Could of bought a pretty nice fixed blade for that wallet money. You are right about that money clip thing.

[@tedgorman12]

Love seeing your haul. I kept an eye out for ya, but no luck. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first Blade Show! A few notes... Greg Stevens was awesome. I didn't pull the trigger on a watch and am regretting it. The Blue Steel Runt was crazy cool to look at, but it was way too small. Purchased a Peña X Series Barlow. I'd never used a front flipper before and now can't put it down. The crew at Vero Engineering was probably my favorite with whom to interact and I bought a Synapse which I am loving. I can't wait for the Impulse Mini and some red end cut CF milled scales for it like the XL. Ramon Chavez was so thoughtful and warm considering I am a newbie with little knowledge. Made a couple of new friends and look forward to continuing the journey with insights from guys like Taylor Martin. Carry on!

[@FidelCashflow_YT]

Man I just can't do it. They keep making these fanny packs more "manly" and keep adding useful stuff to them, but I just can't bring myself to wear one... Got a couple crossbody types and even with those I feel like I am carrying a purse. It's just really weird feeling, I don't worry about what people will say, but I still feel uncomfortable and "not right". Plus I don't have a ton of extra gear so a lot of the time the bag is mostly empty. I ended up going with a Herschel Form Small size crossbody. It's essentially just a small pouch and not a "bag" so I don't get that purse feeling from it. You can't put much in it, but it holds the few extra things that normally overload my pockets. Maybe someday ill get over that purse feeling, but idk.

Mind you there are tons of knives I haven’t bought them yet and I can’t wait once I get the money but I went on a splurge with microtech and I have currently seven or eight maybe more styles of microtech. Let’s see the next knife that I have are everything from Benchmade, civivi, Chris Reeves, sharade, crap I’m drawing a blank I have about 10 other brands that aren’t super known but super high-quality as well. I own my own company and what I love to do the most is my hobby is sharpen everyone’s knife because I bought 10 different set ups LOL of MDF grind wheels plus My diamond stones which I love the most for creating new edges. I wish people would stop selling out just because they get free knives and when I start my channel I will do so hope to see you guys there

[@FidelCashflow_YT]

It's just to fidget with when bored. Or you have a "lucky" coin. Or it has a message that you read for inspiration when you need it. Or it's some kind of army or police/firefighters coin, and it has some kind of personal meaning to you. I have a copper coin that reminds me life is short, so you should live while you are able to. Stuff like that is why people buy them...

[@DimitrisDimitrakakis]

I have solved the step tracking problem using the Garmin Vivosmart on my left hand together with my handmade silver Byzantine prayer bracelet and my custom Seiko SKX with 6R15 movement on my right hand. It is the smallest of all devices out there and the rubber once passed in through the clip, stays snug in there with no movement and no back draw plus it does not protrude like all the other devices do. You will forget you are wearing it and it will do exactly what it is supposed to do even better. All watches that also track heart beats do not sample in real time, they take samples every other minute. Wrist bands track your movements and heart rate every split second. Think about practicallity and getting the best out of your devices plus looking good wearing a superb analog watch! Hope this helped you.
